This guide will show you how to download a modpack from ATLauncher and install it on your server.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of FTP and the use of an FTP client.
- AT Launcher (http://www.atlauncher.com/)
Downloading Files
To download the server files, you will need to navigate to the Packs
tab of the ATLauncher. Search for the modpack you want, then click on Create Server
.

After that, you will have to select the optional mods you want, if the modpack offers them, then click on install. Note: Not all optional mods found when downloading the client version of the modpack will be in the server version, since some mods are not server-sided, such as a minimap, or HUD altering mods(e.g Zan’s Minimap, Damage Indicators).

Your server files will then be found by accessing the Servers
subfolder from the ATLauncher folder.
Installing the Modpack
Now, let’s install the modpack on your server:
- Create a new folder called
jar
in the server folder you just downloaded.
- Depending on the Java version you want to use, rename the
forge-versionnumber.jar
to one of the following:
custom-java16.jar
– for any modpack running on the 1.17 Minecraft versioncustom-java11.jar
– for any modpack running on versions between 1.13 and 1.16custom-java8.jar
– for any modpack running on versions lower than 1.13 (1.12, 1.11, etc)
- Place the files you just renamed in the previous step, as well as the
minecraft_server.jar
andlibraries
folder, inside your newjar
folder.
- Delete everything from your server using FileZilla.
- Upload all server files created by ATLauncher to your server using FileZilla.
- Change the server type in your Multicraft control panel to
custom-java8.jar
,custom-java11.jar
, orcustom-java16.jar
depending on how you named theforge.versionnumber.jar
in step number 2, then click on save at the bottom of the page.
- Start the server!
